New Car due March - Ceramic Coating?

[Lancerlot]

You need to ascertain which process is being supplied as there are several alternative offerings and compounds available - take a look on the Gtechniq website for details.

When my 991.2 Turbo S was treated from new, it was done entirely undercover and as a 3 day process because some "curing" of the product was required between stages.

Regards,

Clive

Hi there - first thing - when you say this is a Gtechniq agent - is that confirmed from the Gtechniq website or is it just that the detailer says they are using Gtechniq - as like you say, I find it very surprising they would do it mobile. I’ve had the Gtechniq 7 year product done twice, and the dealership price is considerably more than going direct to the same detailer they use, privately. If its a new car, usually the dealer will allow your detailer to go to their stock room when the car arrives to do it prior to them handing the car over to you. Usually its the preparation of the car that takes the time and needs the indoor conditions, which is why a detailer would typically do it over 2 days. See Reepgroup.co.uk for example.
It is definitely worth it though IMO, will make the car much easier to clean and looking in showroom condition.
The ceramic coating industry is developing rapidly Now with a lot more products available, and more mobile retailers, and self service versions available. For me the real value is having the car cleaned/polished/repaired to the highest standard and then having it applied. You could do yourself if inclined, but for something that lasts 7 years, I think its worth paying a professional to do it.

We are in talks with Porsche Club Magazine with regard to doing a spread in the magazine with a 15% discount for all Porsche club members. please do feel free to call me and talk through various options. So much to talk about and so many different options probably too much to put in this message. We do many different Ceramic coating's but Gtechniq would be the preferred/best (in our opinion) any one that tells you they coat cars outside is not professional coatings need to be applied in a controlled environment. please call to talk through further and our instagram/Facebook pages (@bonnevillesdetailing) give more of an idea of recent work unfortunately the website is in need of an update.

Hopefully speak soon

Hi Folks,

A fairly old post I realise but it still seems to be a hot topic .... and I could use some help.

I am considering having Gtechniq treatment on a new Macan (delivery imminent) and while the local Gtechniq agent is quoting significantly less than the dealer for seemingly the same job I was surprised that this is a mobile service and could/would be done in the open - or possibly my garage at best. Given the process and the cost I would have thought some kind of controlled environment would be needed afterall a bit of a breeze and surely they will be rubbing dust into the shiny new paint?

All feedback most welcome.

Are you based in Essex? These guys https://www.offsetdetailing.com/ have a very good reputation and are active on Detailing World https://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/index.php where you'll find quite a few GTechniq accredited detailers. Or alternatively their own Twitter feed site has links too https://twitter.com/GtechniqUK?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor

As others have said, your new car will need proper preparation before the final coating and best done in a studio.

Some recommend Ceramic coating a car has many benefits, not least that it will keep your car looking good as new, even after years of use. I spent my money and it is good going to the nearest detailing shop and Just had my entire car done with ceramic pro. A positive thanks to Ceramic Protection Brisbane https://ceramicprotection.com.au/ for doing great job.

Have had Gtechniq treatments three times on two cars, both were used white Cayman`s from the local OPC. The finish and protection has overall been excellent, by far the best option I have ever taken.

The treatments were the `dealer only` Platinum option, five year warranty with annual inspections. The second car was re-done after year one as it was deemed to be `failing` … not adhering correctly. The only thing that I had noticed was that the roof had lost it`s `sheen` and felt `flat`.

I always assumed that the treatments were applied indoors, the OPC has it`s own detailer trained by an accredited Gtechniq dealer.
